What am I up too?.........

I will give you

three guesses!!

I hope this post finds you all happy and doing well. I know my posts seem to be few and far between. I have so many pictures and recipes to share with you all. We are still harvesting and have so many other things going on I just can't seem to squeeze a post in. I am going to try extra hard to post a little more frequently. I really miss hearing from you all and I really miss having the opportunity to visit your blogs. Please make my day by leaving me comment to tell me how you are doing and what you have been up too!

Yes, your recipes are something we all look forward too. But work comes first - and Harvest is a busy time of the year for you. It's been raining so our corn isn't done yet either - probably will be spring before it gets combined. Rainy, so I sew and have a mess inside.

I know how busy you are, i was raised on a big farm, but I'll be glad when winter comes and you can do some posting. I've been doing a little canning..walking everyday, making baby blankets, baking, planning a Halloween party for my grands..just enjoying this beautiful fall weather..hope you are too.Come say hi :D

Are you canning tomatoes? Making spaghetti sauce, tomatoe soup,stewed tomatoes..... I am enjoying my grandchildren. My son is deployed and my grands and Dil are here staying with us. have a blessed day!Juanita

Beautiful tomatoes! Wouldn't mind some of those on my table. We know you are busy running the farm and taking care of your family, so post when you can. And we always enjoy the wonderful recipes you share. I've been eating VERY well because of you. :)

Have started to crochet a little, but am mostly getting things together for when I take my vacation at the end of next month. That's my time to start wrapping for Christmas and to get my card list together. The job is going rough right now, but hoping things there will settle down soon. xxoo

Those tomatoes look so pretty. MMM Salsa I put up about 24 pints back in July when I was in Arkansas. It was a beautiful day here, was cold and gloomy last week. I have to get out and get some pictures of the fall leaves before they are gone.

We are just finishing up our tomatoes, in fact we still have one big batch ripening and then we'll have them all wrapped up. Our crop was bountiful this year, even if we ended up picking them while still green, they've ripened nicely.

Soon we'll be working, fully, on our apple crop, but first we have some carrots to grate for the freezer, and can into pickled sticks, then there are 6 heads of cabbage waiting to be made into freezer slaw( we are going to can some, as a trial too) We figure by the time all of these get wrapped up, it will be about Thanksgiving and then we'll start in on getting our jams and jellies made( from fruit in the freezer), these we use as Christmas favors for family and friends. We enjoy a steady pace, idle hands are so boring*wink*

That is a lot of nice tomatoes.We understand that you are busy so we will just wait to hear from you when you can.It is raining here and the corn harvest is not going well.It is suppose to snow this week also.What happened to FALL????Have a blessed day.

OH sweet girl that looks like TOO Much work to me :D I know just how you feel about life spinning and not finding any time to be online ! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog...and YES! That was a "Farm girl" sweatshirt...it's my first piece of their clothing...and I'm in love :D Hope you get time to rest, relax & just "be" soon! Sweet blessings!

About Me

I love living on the farm. I am a farmer's daughter and farmer's wife too! I am here to share our life on the farm as I know many people do not understand how hard our farmers and ranchers work. I love all things agriculture related. I also will be sharing recipes and any other thought I have. ;) I live with my husband and our three children on our 4th generation farm/ranching operation in North Dakota. We are blessed to raise our children on the farm and to be stewards of the land. I love cooking from scratch in the old fashion farmstyle way, gardening and crafting. We raise wheat, flax, soy beans and sunflowers on our farm.
I love when you visit and especially like when you leave me a comment.
I love making new friends and most certainly will pop over to visit you!
I have a home based business in which I make soy candles and other scented products. Check out my website. You will find the link on the right hand side of my column.
Thanks for stopping by...come back soon. :)
